Bonita Asters are bright, cheery flowers with fully double pom blooms similar to the Matsumoto Aster. With flower heads approximately 2" across, Bonita Asters are more substantial than traditional filler flowers adding instant fullness and texture to any style floral arrangement. Our Purple Bonita Asters are a deep, darker purple with a bright yellow center that pairs well with Sunflowers, Gerbera Daisies, Roses, Lisianthus, Snapdragons, and Lilies. It also looks good mixed with its cousin - Aster Solidago and Baby's Breath. Purple Bonita Asters are hardy flowers that have a relatively long vase life of 7 - 10 days with proper care.
Wholesale Purple Bonita Asters
Our Wholesale Purple Bonita Asters are cut and shipped straight from the farm - and we 100% guarantee it's quality and freshness. Once you receive your Purple Bonita Asters remove as much green leafy foliage as possible from the bottom of the stems (leaving the foliage around the base of the lowest flowers), cut about 1/2 - 1" off the bottom of the stems and place in fresh water. Bonita Asters usually do not need time to open, but will need hydration. It is perfectly normal for the flowers to look thirsty or "tired" upon arrival. They will perk up once they receive a "fresh cut" to their stems and have time to drink up fresh water. To maximize their vase life and to keep them looking their best, ensure all foliage that falls below any water lines is removed; aster foliage can become slimy when immersed in water. This is easily prevented by removing all leaves that fall in or near water levels. We recommend you receive your Bonita Asters 2-3 days before your event.
